Yes, each of the protocols in my repo is in its own branch for future pull requests.

Might want to check greenfly's work . Or I'll make a combined build after things are done and pull requests made.

Wow that's awesome. I've just tried this (I know, very late... totally inexcusable) and H8 has just become my favourite indoor flier. (And I haven't even tried the dynamic trim option yet).

Thanks a lot hexfet

EDIT: I have just tried the DynTrims. Didn't expect that at all. Unbelievable. It is super fast for a toy quad.

Once a protocol is complete and tested it would be really nice to create a reference build model.ini, with comments, to define how everything is supposed to work. All the pertinent data seems way too scattered otherwise.

That's a great idea. Make the information easier to find and implement.

Has headless mode calibration been assigned to a channel?

Here's my model ini for the devo 7e with 2x3 switch. Using 60/80/125 for pitch and roll on swB and 40/70/125 for rudder on swA. Still playing with the mixer but I mostly fly it with rudder 60 and pitch/roll at 125 and it's working well for me. Hold1 is flip for channel 6 and using fmode1 for headless mode channel 9. So fun! Thanks again Hexfet!

As far I can see in source code (bayang_nrf24l01.c) in this fragment

#define CHAN_RANGE (CHAN_MAX_VALUE - CHAN_MIN_VALUE)
static u16 scale_channel(u8 ch, u16 destMin, u16 destMax)
{
    s32 chanval = Channels[ch];
    s32 range = destMax - destMin;

    if      (chanval < CHAN_MIN_VALUE) chanval = CHAN_MIN_VALUE;
    else if (chanval > CHAN_MAX_VALUE) chanval = CHAN_MAX_VALUE;
    return (range * (chanval - CHAN_MIN_VALUE)) / CHAN_RANGE + destMin;
}

channel values are reduced when they are used this way

        chanval.value = scale_channel(CHANNEL1, 0x3ff, 0);   // aileron
        packet[4] = chanval.bytes.msb + dyntrim(chanval.value);
        packet[5] = chanval.bytes.lsb;
        chanval.value = scale_channel(CHANNEL2, 0, 0x3ff);   // elevator
        packet[6] = chanval.bytes.msb + dyntrim(chanval.value);
        packet[7] = chanval.bytes.lsb;
        chanval.value = scale_channel(CHANNEL3, 0, 0x3ff);   // throttle
        packet[8] = chanval.bytes.msb + 0x7c;
        packet[9] = chanval.bytes.lsb;
        chanval.value = scale_channel(CHANNEL4, 0x3ff, 0);   // rudder
        packet[10] = chanval.bytes.msb + dyntrim(chanval.value);
        packet[11] = chanval.bytes.lsb;

So if I correctly understand constant values - there is no need to set channel values above 100 as they will be reduced to 100 in this protocol. So there is no actual 125 value for rudder or pitch as this 125 is equal to 100.

Thank you kind sir

Based on Phillycopter8's ini file for the 7e - here is my Devo 10 version with mods.

Ail, Ele and Rud all work off the FMOD switch:

Fmod 0 - expo 25, scale 60
Fmod 1 - expo 25, scale 80
Fmod 2 - expo 25, scale 100

Elev D/R 1 is channel 6 - flip mode
Ail D/R 1 is channel 9 - headless mode

This is probably pretty rough and not done according to how it should or could be done for optimal usage but it seems to work quite well for me.

Cheers

Thanks for the model files guys.

I have a collection of model files. I rename them from the modelxx.ini to something like Eachine_H8_mini.ini. Then I grab the notes from your post and add them to the top of the file as comments, along with the date, the aircraft and the poster's name. They seem much more useful and accessible that way.

I respectfully suggest this might be a better way to post such files in the future.

Thank you!

I've uploaded new test builds that set the dynamic trims on all the time and removes the protocol option. Thanks for the testing.

I'm going to combine the fy326, bayang, and mjxq protocols in one pull request. It avoids merge conflicts and is easier to review, plus will be based on the latest default.

I was about to post a question but instead decided to test an assumption as I was typing and will now post an answer instead in case someone else has the same issue.

To run the test build you need to use the filesystem from a nightly build (perhaps the latest build I am not sure).

I was installing the test build firmware and using the 4.0.1 release file system. This results in a successful boot, everything appears to be ok until you press "ENT" to access the menu and it is blank.

Anyway my goal was to test the H8 mini so looking forward to doing that now! Thanks hexfet

Just wanted to confirm that my JJRC H10 quadcopter binds and throttle works as expected with protocol_bayang on my Devo 8S
(incorporated latest changes from hexfet's repo, fixing merge issue manually).

Cannot test more yet, as one of the motors is damaged (I suspect its brushes were damaged during shipping) and I'm waiting for spare part.

Great to know!
~~I have the hunch the JJRC H12C and others will bind also with this protocol...~~

Edit. I was wrong. The H12C is using LT8910 RF transceiver.

Just received my BayangToys X9

@ Hexfet, do you need any specific capture from this model?
I guess no, but just in case...

No, nothing more required unless there are new controls on your model. Thanks.

Just tested outdoor the X9 using the Bayang protocol, and WOW!

Amazing pitch and roll angles using the dynamic trims!
Will upload a short video ASAP.
Thanks Hexfet!

A short demo

Sorry for the video quality, didn't have my Mobius Hatcam here and was recorded by a coworker with his cell (receiving a lot of messages

)
